Ultralight Bushwalking / backpacking is about more then just gear lists. Ultralight walkers carefully consider gear based on the environement they are entering, the weather forecast, their own skill, other people in the group. Gear and systems are tested and tweaked. If you are new to this area then welcome - Please remeber that although the same ultralight philosphy can be used in all envrionements that the specific gear and skill required will vary greatly. It is very dangerous to assume that you can just copy someone elses gear list, but you are encouraged to ask questions, learn and start reducing the pack weight and enjoing the freedom that comes.
